Item Details

Description

After meeting Germaine de Sta‘l, he became one of the most influential figures in Paris. After 18 Brumaire, Bonaparte made him a member of the Tribunal. In 1802, he had to leave the Tribunal and went into exile. He wrote and in 1806 published "Adolphe". Returning to France during the Restoration, he supported the Bourbons, but Napoleon appointed him State Councillor. After the fall of the Empire, he took refuge in England. When the regime eased, he returned to France and resumed his place in the opposition, where he was one of the most brilliant orators.Stub of a deposit slip, dated 30.05.1827, bearing Constant's signature under the imprint.
